    I have been actively facilitating WRAP groups for 3 years now. In the past year I was presented with a challange. To facilitate WRAP to several women in a group home setting, most of these women had spent the majority of their adult lives in a structured living environment.
    Needless to say I welcomed the opportunity! We started with the basics, the 5 key concepts. Hope to the majority was a foreign word, a great deal of discussion and life’s examples on my part was introduced. We explored what being and taking personal responsibility was. We together saught out and shared educational venues, stories, and possible solutions and implementation. We flolurished with the concept of effectively advocating for ourselves, believing that we not only could, but that we were worth it! We grew to see one another as friends and supporters, not someone whom we could not trust Together we are growing. I have grown so with the love and support of my new friends, their insight, wisdom and dreams finally exploded from the boxes that they had been so tightly locked in. WRAP has put a smile on our faces and a kick in our step, together we can look forward to the sunrise of another day and the wisdom that comes with it.
